We can rebuild, thats a bold statement, exactly what will be your input, how about getting the 3,000ish faithful to chuck in 350 quid each thats a cool 1million to start with, are you in?

I’m in

Interesting isn't it Harry something I pointed out to a fan who was moaning back in 2007/8/9 when Arthur Thomas was in charge , and similarily with Derek 2 years ago , the actual cost of a match ticket in these seasons has been around £ 60 quid a time , 2/3rds of that subsidised by the relevant owners at that time



Just a bit of perspective

As am I.

Count me in .

Well we can all say we'll dib in if we want, because that ain't going to happen in a million years

Just reading the last few posts



Is this possible?



Can LRLFC sell some sort of "shares" to the fans, say 51% or so.



Just throwing it out there, I have no idea how these things work "I am but a simple man"



Now I would be up for that

Col, I've never been a talker, always a doer,I've raised funds in a few ways in the past for the Club, and will do whatever it takes to raise revenue for the Club I love.



Over the past couple of years I think fundraising has slipped because a lot of fans myself included have felt , Derek's the Owner, he pays the money out ,let him do it,I'm ready to do owt needed to help out.

Me too, but only if I can be in sole control!!

And there we have the issue

For LRLFC , read ' Sporting Club Leigh ' that's the ltd company that currently operates as Leigh Centurions , I assume the majority of shares are currently owned by Derek



Now if Derek wanted to he could have a share issue meaning a set number of shares are made available for new investors to purchase



The problems then arise when the club then needs more money to operate , ie pay some bills , in theory all the shareholders then are obliged to ' cough up ' a set amount per share



Now then ' when some are willing/want to , and others aren't able/want to , you have a problem



For stress free running of a club , no more than 2 primary shareholders will work long term , and in theory they both need to be rich enough for their investment to be incidental to their affluent lifestyle ( essentially just a hobby )

Alan ,from the wink I realise your wit

,one thing about Leythers is they don't give in, when the Blackpool Mafia tried to ruin us the fans rallied and raised cash, we have been down before , I've worked with a few great fundraisers in the past Lynda Pike being one of the best, I think when new investors are found, and they will come forward, it should be a case of What we can do for the Club?



I was never a fan of one bloke in charge,and got tired of hearing how Derek was the Owner ,does anyone know what's happened to Mike Latham or Steve Openshaw?Are they still with us ?We need answers then folk will start doing what is needed to help the Club.
